Each time I look at golf bloopers I wonder about 2 things.
One, how did so many people get videoed doing such crazy shots, and two, what are the odds of hitting such poor shots on cue! Most of these shots I could not do if I really tried! I salute the caddie that tried to save his player from going into the lake, only to be pulled in with him! Thanks to golfsecrets1 for reposting this from AFV!
Seve the Magician – Check out these amazing shots!

Seve Ballesteros was one of, if not the, best short game player in the history of the game. In his match with Paul Azinger in the Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island, Seve did not hit the first 9 greens in regulation and was all square with Paul!
He had a huge following throughout the world and we were robbed of watching this entertaining man on the Champions Tour! Thanks to Sevefan for posting this on Youtube!
Can you make a decent living diving for used golf balls?

Have you ever thought of diving in after your ball when you have dunked one in the pond?
You would be surprised at what you would find! There are several people who have found this lucrative business an interesting job! Alligators and snakes are a danger, but just part of the diver’s daily encounters! How many jobs do you know that have to think of snakes and alligators every day on the job?
Thanks to Swing by Swing for bringing us this interesting story!
Meet Glenn Berger, the man who’s making a TON of money off of our crappy golf shots. He makes a living by retrieving 1.3 to 1.7 million golf balls per year. Wait until you hear what types of objects Glenn has encountered while diving for golf balls.
“Hold my beer while I do this” is NOT a good idea – EVER!

I don’t know if this video is fake or not, but if it is valid, that dude holding the beer is stark raving mad! In his right mind, a golfer would hold a beer bottle (it was aluminum, not glass) and stand 20 feet from someone hitting a Driver!
Even if it is a good looking blonde who says, “Hold my beer while I do this!”
A spectator finds the beer bottle, but I’d like to know where the ball went? Anyway, thanks to Swing by Swing for giving us this food for thought.
“Gather around everyone I’m going to hit a golf ball right towards you! Don’t worry I won’t bust any of your faces, you’re safe, I promise.”
You’d have to throw us a good chunk of change to take part in something like this. We’re also sure this was one of those times where the famous line “hold my beer and watch this” was said right before the camera started rolling.
Hopefully, no beer was wasted in the making of this video.

I have been a Formula 1 fan longer than I have been a Professional Golfer! I remember following Sir Stirling Moss when I was about 7 or 8 years old, and then in 1979 South African driver Jody Scheckter became World Champion, and I was hooked.
Nico Rosberg the #2 driver for Mercedes Formula 1, gave a rolling start to Martin Kaymer against a stationary start by Nico.
Watch the video below to see what a competitor Martin is!
Who knew Martin Kaymer was such a badass. You know what would be even more fun than this? Let’s get PGA Tour players to race each other with their own cars. First up, Rickie Fowler and his Nissan GT-R versus Ian Poulter and one of his Ferraris.

Many years ago when I played on the South African Sunshine Tour, the tournament would hold a long drive contest after the end of the second round.
As players finished out on #18, they would walk over to the 1st tee and hit 3 balls up the fairway.
The top 10 finishers would then meet at the end of the day for a shootout. It was a fun thing for both the players and the fans. I was fortunate to win several of those contests. That is why I absolutely love to watch the World Long Drive Championship held each October in Las Vegas (where else, baby!) Watch the video below for the finals.
Tim Burke won the World Long Drive Championships with a mammoth 394-yard effort on Wednesday. The 29-year-old American hit drives of more than 400 yards in both the quarter- and semi-finals, before sealing his second title, and the $150,000 top prize, with another huge drive in the final.

Ever since the Nike ad where Tiger Woods bounces the ball on the club, we’ve been enthralled by funny golf commercials.
Some are better than others, of course.
Some of the more inventive ones feature unusual golfers such as Darth Vader, a baby, and a club head cover.
I’m not crazy about the ads that use cheap shots like a guy getting hit by a ball in a sensitive area or ads featuring trashy women. #9 is an ad that was new to me and the humor is great from beginning to end.
Golf companies have been in a silent competition for years to see who can film the funniest commercial ever. We all benefit, of course, since there have been some great ads. Here are some of our favorites from recent memory.
Tiger Woods – Nike Golf
Tiger Woods is one of the most bankable pitchmen of all time — golf or otherwise. Some of his earliest gems were with Frank the talking head cover in ads for Nike Golf and Golfsmith.
One of Woods’ most recent commercial hits was the “No Cup is Safe” campaign with Rory McIlroy:
But the most memorable Tiger ad of all may have been the one that resulted in everyone bouncing the ball on the face of their wedges for years to come.
https://youtu.be/6oTMosZ76b8
The story goes that the creative types working behind the scenes of this one had a completely different concept in mind for the day’s shoot, only to marvel at Tiger’s ball control, and ended up filming and producing this instead…
E-Trade
Any commercial that’s able to use “Shankapotomous” will rank highly among the golfing set. Mix in a baby talking smack about investing and the rules of golf, and you have the greatest golf Super Bowl ad of all time.
SpikeTV
So you show up for your regular Sunday foursome to find that you’re one man short. Just your luck, you get a pairing with Darth Vader. It could happen, right? Sure! Well, moving to the dark side is one thing, but using the force to win a skin is quite another.

These Happy Gilmore attempts are absolutely hilarious! #2 made me really lose it.
She does not even get near the ball and falls over her own feet! And the guy in #3 did what we see in gymnastics at the Olympic Games, when a gymnast takes a fall, gets up, and raises their hands as if they completed the move correctly. He gets the prize today! As for #1, he gets the dope-of-the-day as he starts to swing when he hasn’t even reached the ball! Amazing that he didn’t hurt himself with that one!
The one thing that all three of these videos have in common is that they are hilarious! I’ve watched them several times! Here’s your chuckle for the day!

Do you think you know all the answers as they relate to golf?
What do you think your golf IQ is right now? Like “Who is the #1 player in Women’s Golf?” or “Who won the 2013 FedEx Cup?” or “Who won the 2012 US Open?” Those questions and more were put to a group of golfers, one who professed to watch a lot of golf on TV, but the answers range from the sublime to the ridiculous! Please remember that these interviews were done at the end of the 2012 season.
Is this the shortest missed putt in European Tour history?

Every golfer on the plant has missed a short putt that was embarrassing.
However, this short tap-in by Alvaro Quiros was not so much a miss as a rebound! The ball hit the back of the cup and came straight back. It reminded me of a putt during the 2000 PGA Tour Q School when Joe Daly hit almost the exact same putt and missed the cut by a shot. Check out both videos below. You decide which one wins the prize for the shortest missed tap in of all time!
We’re not sure what exactly is going on lately on the putting greens in professional golf, but add Alvaro Quiros’ putt at the Portugal Masters to the list of crazy happenings recently.
